Georgia Tech Community Support

As Georgia Tech expands its global reach, its need to support English as an additional language grows. As part of its mission, the Language Institute helps Georgia Tech provide that support. If you are part of the Georgia Tech community and you need communication support for yourself, your international students, an international visiting scholar, or any other member of the Georgia Tech global community, please let us know. We can point you to one of the programs or services listed below, or we can create a customized option for you or your department.

The communication needs of the students in each department on campus may differ. The Georgia Tech Language Institute can work with your department to tailor a course that can meet the needs and schedule of your department. Check out our Custom Courses page to find out about some of the past courses and workshops we have offered.

The Language Institute supports the Georgia Tech international campus by providing English proficiency assessments for prospective J-1 scholars and interns. All prospective J-1 visa holders must provide proof of English proficiency in order to be eligible to receive a DS-2019 and apply for a J-1 visa. The Language Institute can provide this assessment virtually throughout the year. Check out our English Proficiency Assessments for Prospective J-1 Scholars and Interns page for more information about our assessment.
